Troubleshooting
Windbreak will not inflate properly
Ensure the pump connection is secure to the inflation valve and check that the valve itself is fully open. Do not over-inflate; aim for a firm but not rigid structure.
Windbreak is unstable in light wind
Check that the guylines are properly tensioned and pegged securely into the ground. Ensure the windbreak is oriented correctly to face the prevailing wind.
Minor puncture or air leak
Locate the leak (listen for hissing or use soapy water) and use a suitable repair kit for inflatable items. Allow the repair to cure fully before re-inflating.
